Worcester District Attorney Joe Early said Monday that Lisa Stilkey jumped out of a second-floor window and tried to land on a pillow, fearing her husband, after an argument late Thursday night.

“When Mrs. Stilkey was on the phone with her son, approximately 15 minutes prior to the 911 call to the Douglas police, he heard Mr. Stilkey say ‘When you get off the phone, I’m going to kill you,’” Early told reporters.

“She said that, ‘If I’m dead, he did it.”

“There was a struggle, a very big struggle that was going on throughout the house. There was broken furniture, there was broken glass. There was wine on the countertop, there was wine in the kitchen, there was wine on the wall. She was upstairs, a pillow had gone out the window. She went out the window and attempted to land on that pillow,” Early said.

“I’m not going to connect all the dots, but it can easily lead someone to conclude at that point when she jumped out the window, was there a less restrictive means of getting out (of) the house or did she feel compelled to go out the window?”

She was taken to a hospital where she died.

Allen Stilkey’s attorney said his client did not force his wife to jump.

There were no prior problems reported between the two of them.

Early said Stilkey took out a $250,000 life insurance policy two weeks before his wife’s death.

Since the wife is now dead, who can say for sure if she “jumped” or was thrown out of the window? This guy takes out a quarter million dollar policy two weeks ago and then she falls out of a window. Obviously, his brain matter has filtered down to his massive arms. You know, the arms he arm wrestles with! Me thinks that he will have plenty of opponents at Walpole once the trial ends.

jaygee, I agree. If it looks like a duck and quacks like one, then the answer is obvious. Whether she jumped or was pushed, the evidence is in the phone call and the mess the house was in when police arrived. Another sad example of the worst kind of domestic abuse gone deadly.

agree, she could have been out cold or nearly then thrown out window to make it look like she jumped. either way – hubby is the root cause. i’m sure the wuss will claim he was defending himself, blame steriods or his dad for being a poor example instead ponying up.

oh how i wish the media would issue an article about a decent, moral, stand up guy for every article posted about some poor excuse for the gender. boys and young men need to know there are good guys out there, and that they can be one of them.
